Navigon is the best offline navigation for Android.

I hope TomTom will release there app soon. And hope it's not 100euro or something crazy like that. I paid 29euro for Navigon and I am really really happy with it.
[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
Navigon for offline maps or Google Nav if you have a good data plan
[HTC Sensation] NikolaiT:
If you choose to use Telenav, be prepared to pay an extra $10 a month.
[HTC Sensation] bogdatov:
Google Nav OK, but

Aside from terrible voice, Google Nav is OK. Starts fast, integrated, etc. But ... if you lose signal - you dead. Yes, it does cache entire route, but if you make wrong turn - you dead.

I went to NC mountains and thanks god I had Sygic Aura. I use it from time to time for offline. It does not have TTS for whatever reason, so it only speaks "Turn right in xxx feet".

I also tried iGo My Way ... great maps, but terrible UI on Android.

If you are in US, try Copilot it is only $5
[HTC Sensation] Soween:
And if you think that you want to contribute to something social/navigation, you can try WAZE, which is connected, and social, means that not every road is already on the map, but if you find a new one, you can add yourself the road and name it (it is like having his own street name sign but in the virtual world... 8-)).

Of course many services such as trafic, road blocked, ... because you can contribute to this as others will be...

Just an idea...

See you and good choice.
[HTC Sensation] 1Khronos:
I've found Sygic to be the best alternative to Google Navigation if you want offline maps.

Nevertheless Google Maps does the job, plus it's nice and lightweight. Though you might want to replace the default TTS engine with another one like SVOX unless you like the sound of Pico...
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
HTC navigation full subscription UK 22.99

Uses the same setup up as Tom Tom and is perfect for offline and online its very good
[HTC Sensation] mrbkkt1:
For those of you grumbling about data, etc.

You can pre-cache google maps.

Its under the labs section.
[HTC Sensation] The-Captain:
I still got unlimited :D. Alright Droid 3!
[HTC Sensation] Forkinator:
Google nav is awesome. I just like the way it looks and feels. But its up to the user.
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
Last time I used the lab you were limited to the number of maps you could cache...
[HTC Sensation] v-b-n:
The built-in HTC locations works fine for me ... actually gave me a better route once as compared to google ...
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Sygic is ok but routing is suspect sometimes. Seems to have more points of interest than htc navigation though.

Sent from my Bulletproof Htc Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
I live in UK and have Sygic for Europe and Copilot for when I visit the USA. Both work fine for me. I also like Google Nav, especially if I want to find somewhere to eat or sleep or buy fuel or drink. The search facility and the information you get from it is so much better and more up to date than any POI list in an on-board sat nav app can be.

But Google Nav has one major drawback - it relies upon a data connection. That means is costs an absolute fortune if you are roaming - so anywhere in Europe (except the UK) plus the whole of the USA for me. A couple of hour's use in either of those places will make buying a proper sat nav app look cheap.

And secondly it means if you do not have a data signal you are absolutely screwed. And normally you don't have data coverage in places where you need your sat nav most, i.e. remoter areas. Last summer we were touring around the White Mountains in New Hampshire and Vermont. Good sat nav was vital but half the time we did not have a phone signal at all, let alone a 3G one!

So Copilot was essential there
[HTC Sensation] eurorpeen:
ICS

Non rooted ICS devices have reduced the list, sygic is not working from the sd card 'extSdCard' as well as navigon so not a good idea to use them on new devices like Samsung SIII, Samsung Galaxy Mini2, Samsung Tab 2, sygic team is "working on the solution" since 4 months
[HTC Sensation] mrquidz:
How i envy with places that support google nav. In my country, it's still not available, so we're stuck with sygic / papago. To add on my frustation, TomTom is not available yet.

If i were given choices, i'll go for google nav.
[HTC Sensation] philje123:
Sygic for me as I got it at a really good price in a sale.

I use it a lot in mainland europe so Google nav is not an option in that case.

Phil
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
I suspect it is now that the latest versions allow you to cache the maps. Worked for me when I was in the USA. Meant I could use my Android tablet and Google maps rather than my phone with Sygic when I was just touring around with no set route. Much easier to see where you are in relation to the area as you drive. Of course you need a passenger to do it safely.
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
WAZE!!!! The BEST freakin GPS app out there! Anything else? Fugetaboutit!

Seriously though it saved me dozens of times from user reports of maintenance, police, traffic accidents and it routes you around heavy traffic it's just AWESOME!

It also has BING, Google and Yelp search with rating, can't find anything better than that + it's free. :cowboy::cowboy:

Hey all,

I've got a DX (2.3, stock) that is having some problems with Exchange email. Some emails are getting sent repeatedly to the recipient. The email is stuck in the outbox and can't be deleted. Rebooting/battery pull helped once, but the problem came back. The recipient gets the email periodically... One thing I've noticed is that it happens with forwarded emails, particularly "secured" emails (bank emails).

Has anyone had the same problem? Any solutions?
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
Try clearing data for the email app.

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone can help me find out how to install Glitch kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171948

and Miui rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150045

i downloaded both zips and put it on sd card, but i dont know what to do now

im on STOCK ED05 atm, but have root atm

i searched forums already but still have trouble and i found out u have to use mdt clockwordmod recovery. Can someone link me the exact file and tell me how to go from there?

i usually use odin3 1.3 to flash roms and kernels with md5.tars :D

sorry for my noobness :D

EDIT: i read HOW TO go to stock, OR from stock, and then flash any ROM. but got stuck on 3. Download latest clockwork recovery (cwr) to computer (search dev forum for correct cwr for your intended rom)

can someone send me correct cwm link plz

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] germanian:
thx for reply i tried that earlier and on bootup it went into blue and i couldnt mount any of the partitions

how do i flash in odin with atlas 2.2 pit file or without?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhioYJ:
I use the recovery JT attached in this post. Should be the same one linked to about.

Shouldn't need to mount anything.

Boot into recovery using three finger method (only do this for the first time into recovery ).

Install zip from SD card

Choose zip from SD card

install the MIUI 7-29 file from post you linked to.

After its complete you can flash the Glitch kernel too, without even rebooting.

That's how I've always done it, just had to do this over ED05 after messing my phone up after flashing CM7 and Vanilia to try them out.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhioYJ:
I always select the PIT file, and make sure the box that says "Repartition" is checked on the left side.

You only need the Atlas PIT file if you are trying to go back to a Froyo rom after flashing one of the GB roms. Say going from MIUI back to ED05.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] germanian:
when i try to do the install zip from SD card it installs MIUI but then it restarts automatically and says SD CARD MOUNT FAILED waitin for SD Card it counts down from 20 to 0 and restarts and does it over and over and over again till i pull battery
[Acer Iconia A500] jyams:
When charging, my A500 is almost unusable due to laggy performance. Unplug the charging cable and bingo, everything returns to normal performance. Anyone else having this phenomena?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
That's odd o_O

Do you have some custom ROM installed or some sort of power-saving apps going? I am on stock ROM 3.1 and no kinds of power-saving applications running and I'm not seeing the kind of performance drop as you mention.

Maybe you should try installing CWM, doing full backup and then doing totally complete wipe of the tablet and see if the problem persists? If it doesn't then it's something in your particular installation that's wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
First of all... Thanks Chainfire!!!! This is totally based on your work.... i made only some MOD....

Ok, the work is quite finished... the CF-ROOT for I9003 is ready!

I called this "beta version" (since i need your tests/opinions) but all might work.

IMPORTANT: This is only for KPH Firmware!!!

You can flash this over any other CWM or over the stock FW.

Many people will ask "Why i have to install this?"... because with this your phone will have:

- Root ( don't need to use SOC or any ZIP);

- Busybox 1.17.2;

- Sqlite3 v3.7.2;

- init.d support (you can put in the folder /system/etc/init.d all the script that you want to be loaded at the startup);

- New fixed CWM ( unyaffs issue has been fixed - offline charge fixed - USB storage mode while in CWM fixed);

- Add EXT4 support to the phone ( so you can convert the filesystem to ext4 to improve performance);

- full working CWM Manager (backup - restore - delete backup - install apk - flash update.zip - flash kernel - reboot to CWM);

- Tweaks Manager with various tweak ( Ram Min Free - SD Speed - I/O Scheduler - Kernel Scheduler - CPU Conservative Governor - Swappiness - Ram Script by Juwe11 - Media Stagefright)---> Many people asked for Juwe Ram Script ---> to enable it completely choose in the Tweaks Manager: Ram Script - Ram Min Free and Swappiness;

- Auto ZIP-Align on boot - You can choose it in the tweaks app(NEW)

- Reviewed tweaks values (some from darky's rom some from hardcore some from other post in XDA)( thanks to bigeyes0x0 and Misledz )(NEW)

- Custom Boot-Animation support (place your custom bootanimation in /system/media/ and call it sanim.zip)(NEW)

To do:

- other tweaks suggested by you...

- whatever can be added.

Let me know what you think

HERE you can find the original post.

HOW TO INSTALL:

1- Flash with Odin the .tar file

or...if you went from a previous version of CF-ROOT

2- Download the .zip file into the external SD the open CWM Manager --> flash Kernel --> select the file you have just downoaded

IMPORTANT:

If you cannot find the two apps on your app drawer maybe you haven't space left on /system so delete some unused apps like aldiko, delere /system/cfroot folder and reboot

IMPORTANT/2: after the flash the phone might take some time to boot. You might think that it freeze on Samsung Logo but it's normal cause the auto-zipalign proc need some time. Just Wait.

UPDATE: Added CF-ROOT with my custom kernel. This have Ext4 inside the kernel (no modules) and OC to 1.1 Ghz. I think that it is secure. I haven't test it very well so please report me the issues you will find.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
!

Version 05.09.2011 Changelog:

- added Graphics Boost Tweak (thanks Gana)

- added acid tweaks (thanks to the people that worked on it .. specially Bigeyes0x0);

- reviewed 00tweaks file by Bigeyes0x0;

To disable journaling on ext4 partition apply the attached journaloff.zip in CWM (Not CWM Manager app - it must be fixed).

There're two version of the CF-ROOT, the version with **CWM_Manager** can be flashed with CWM Manager App (select flash kernel) the other with odin (like always)

UPDATE 20.10.2011:

CF-ROOT for XXKPM can be found HERE:

- Standard Version --> http://www.multiupload.com/S463K75UED

- Surprise version ( i suggest you this) --> http://www.multiupload.com/G20L6PL5WC

What's new ?

- I finally finished the custom bootanimation support.... now works like he have to works. Just copy your bootanimation into /system/media and rename it to sanim.zip.... i think that here you can find what you need http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17322814#post17322814

IMPORTANT!!!

If you have installed the beta version you must know that the ext4 conversion for that doesn't work properly. Ok, system, cache and dbdata will be on ext4 but data not. This because the init binary check on boot if /data have rfs FS and, if not, it format the partition wiping all your data.:mad:

In the new version i modified the init binary so it cannot do it more :)

I must say that i became mad to discover this damn thing !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
A few questions: Are you using the latest fixed version of CWM? Also you mentioned that you would be releasing another update soon regarding the Nandroid backup image corruption issue. Is it in this release?

Also: Is this an alternative to ROM manager, apart from the inclusion of the tweaker tool?

Regarding the enhancements, could you please elaborate on some of them and what is safe/not safe to use (particularly in the tweaks and what they do)?

What I understood, after looking over all the posts, was that you optimized the CF-Root by chainfire for the i9003, by using a compatible Root, CWM, and adding an ext4 kernel? Are you going to port the ext4 converter tool as well? Will we be able to use an external SD card with ext4 formatting (Could be used to store files larger than 4GB)?

Sorry about the ton of questions. Trying to learn, and what better way to learn than from the best!

I'm going to take it out for a test drive now on XXKPE with ext4! Will report back later!

Thanks for your valuable work, I'm a huge fan!!!

Cheers

Update: Confirming that the passive charging bug has been fixed! Thanks Skin1980!

I cannot find the CWM or Tweaks icons in the app drawer as indicated in your screenshots. I can access CWM recovery mode using the 3 button combo though.

I had installed the last version of CWM by Amit and formatted with ext4 and I just used ODIN to flash over that install. I tried flashing again, still not appearing in app drawer. Any solutions?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Great job skin.. Hoping for the early release of a stable one.. Will test it later :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cRainin:
it's great...>.<
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Auguri! Ok wow, This is pure genius :D . I've always been wondering what our CWM were based off. I guess using this would fix most issues people get when flashing CWM, since it's based off the original firmware

Also I'm loving the tweaks, they seem to make the phone more smooth, Although I've seen a few bugs after applying this I can't seem to use the V6 charger script anymore I get an error, will be posting one shortly. There are some minor hiccups in between and I tend to get FC on some apps when I multitask.

Edit: Turns out It's busybox related, no shell access. I've tried launching Busybox by Stericsons to check and It says no root access was given and boots me out.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
i happy that u r belong to this community :)

Is there any recovery module or tweak available, in which we can handle basic file operation like copy, move from sd card to system or any thing similar?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
1- The CWM used is always the last... if i'll update the CWM i'll update the CF-ROOT;

2- The CWM fixed reguard nandroid backup is under test;

3- My CWM isn't ROM Manager compatible... with the CWM Manager from Chainfire you can do a lot of things without going into CWM

4 - to convert in EXT4 just follow the guide on the other thread;

5- Not sure if you can format in XT4 your external_sd... try :D;

6- The tweak are all sure... now i haven't time to exlplain better... some don't work.... some other work.

7- If the icon don't appear in app drawer try to check into system/app if the two files are there... if not try to remove /system/cfroot folder and reboot. Maybe your system folder is full so you can install they manually, the original apk are inside /res/misc/ folder.

8- bye :D

Please can anybody in simple language....!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
What your asking for is impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Update!

The problem I had turned out to be due to the lack of space in the "/system" folder - as you had predicted Skin1980! Once I deleted some unnecessary software, I was up and running fully within minutes!

The phone works great! The fixes are really good! Having no issues except for one so far. I can't seem to mound "sdcard" in CWM recovery mode and cannot do a restore, for the same reason, from the CF-ROOT menu.

I have a feeling it's something I did wrong earlier, so I'll reflash completely and try again ('cause I have a lotta time on my hands atm and I want the bestest possible phone I can get).

Note: This doesn't seem to be compatible with DDKB2. Assuming that this is mainly for GB firmwares? Can someone corroborate this?

As usual, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
after a whole day of using it. The phone will tend to lag and build up after a while. You'll notice the phone becomes slow again. I don't know what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anigr88:
I just want a small boost in the speed .... :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
I did notice that initially it was fast. But as I kept it going through the day to recalibrate the battery, it did slow down and start to lag. I thought it was something to do with that. Also I felt that I had done something wrong with the flashing.

Going to overhaul my phone completely: Format, re-partition, XXKPE install (flashing twice), flash fixed CWM from the other thread, root using SOP 2.1.1, install busybox requirements for deodexing (this failed for me the last few times), restore settings using Titanium Backup, Nandroid backup, ext4 this baby, restore, and then install CF-ROOT to monitor.

Wish me luck! See you guys on the other side... again!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
You've got the wrong thread mate!

Your bandwidth is capped by you operator and is dependent on how much they allocate you. On top of that 2G is physically limited to certain speeds which, usually, cannot be surpassed by legal means, and the illegal ones give you too less of a boost vs complications and errors to even bother about (I mean big ass hardware)!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
Even i could not update Busybox under XXKPE+CF-ROOT.

Busybox installer could not obtain root.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
I found that if you flash to other CWM, busybox will work fine.

But if you flash to this CF-root again, the busybox wont work.

wonder what's the problem with the superuser in this CF-ROOT...:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Correction, Nothing is wrong with the super user. It's the busybox that's the issue, To enable a sh access, you require super user, without that you can't even touch busybox. Hence you get the picture.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
now donno if I should flash back to XXKB3 or just let it be like this...

Overall is ok but the response(screen locked-closed, and then wake it up it need 1~2 secs to show up the screen.) abit slow. Not sure its the problem of XXKPE or CF-ROOT.

And the startup time quite long...1min...used to be 30sec when using XXKB3.

Hope skin can further optimize the phone to be faster and higher response speed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Its becoming more and more difficult to pin issues, everybody's followed different methods, applied different mods, flashed in a different order and different versions of CWM and what not.

So, if you're having persistent troubles, just bite the bullet and do a clean re-flash.

Its pointless digging a bomb-site for something beautiful!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Y jus not rply if u dnt knw d answer\solution?

Obsessed with increasing ur post count?

I know u desperate to stop people posting useless ques and posts, and its good, who'd like to c our forum full of trash? But this isnt the way. Tis was a genuine problem, and if u dnt hv the solution\suggestion, jus dnt rply and wait for someone else with similar issue or with a solution rply.

And how might re-flashing solve the problem?

I did reflash anyway...

Anyway, rooted using Vivek's method and deodexed too. Worked.

Althou Root Explorer FC prob stl persists.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
well my phones deodexed and everything works fine except for the fact that busybox won't be given superuser permissions.actually even before i installed cf root my busybox refused to update had version 1.62 installed on my phone but whenever i tried to update to any newer version i got an update failed error.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Are you PMSing mate? What's with the flaming? It was what I said it was. I may not know anything, but if it was post count (LOL), there are a dozen other ways I could do that. Think before you puke.

It was a genuine issue and the best way to get rid of nagging issues is to do a clean flash. Is it so insulting?

P.S. - A repeat of such attitude might result in a temp ban.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Actually, space did post a valid point, Chances are when you end up restoring something that the system isn't able to comprehend it tends to just dub it as "Incompatible", I think you've seen that, it's where the framework can't really identify what your using is compatible or not *Best example when replacing for themes*, If it is incompatible, you get a sea of FC. If not then the app works as it should. Chances are if you were to dig to find what was wrong, You will end up doing the same thing, restoring things back to it's stock to find out if problem persists, and when your done realizing there is no longer any problems, you probably ended up restoring half of your system files = almost a reflash. Just don't take what he said as an insult, he's being straightforward and saving you the trouble of elongating your persisting error.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Hmmm. Ok people.

I didnt mean any offence. Ok... I misinterpreted stuff.

@Space - I Apologize.
